This support group has been formed to offer an outstretched arm to teenagers who struggle with one or more of the following issues: sexual, physical, verbal or emotional abuse; cutting; bullying; eating disorders; family issues; sexuality; substance abuse; peer pressure; pregnancy; running away; thoughts of suicide and more. You are not alone and we want you to know that. Itís extremely difficult to go through the teenage years and then when you add on any of the abuse it makes it that much worse. In addition you end up growing up faster than your chronological age.

Join us on this list and email with other teenagers who understand your needs and wants. Seek support from others and be there to support them through their difficult times too.

Anyone looking for projects, surveys or is NOT legitimately a teenager is not welcome.

Although the owner of this group is a female adult that survived abuse, we will have a couple of teenage moderators and maybe one or two other women adult moderators. The adult moderators and owner will only be there for emergencies or if someone directs an email to them. It is a support group for teenagers and run by teenagers.
